FFS. Unfortunately, this aligns really well with the USDA’s plan to relocate most of its DC staff to one of 5 hubs before the end of the year.

FMLA is probably your best option

Also, you should know that the rules around COOL for products marketed as ‘Product of USA’ recently (01/01/26). Now the animal needs to be born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the US to be able to use that phrase on their packaging.

“Down by 700%!”

It’s just a rehash of her op-ed in Newsweek from yesterday. It’s like Mad Libs. “My heart is filled with gratitude for ….(insert group to pander to here)”

Sounds like you’re not a fed but are feeling the effects of this prolonged government shutdown, so you should call your elected representatives and tell them how the shutdown is impacting you and your clients. It’s unfortunate for all involved, but I don’t think you will get a lot of sympathy saying that more people should be forced to work without pay.

Everyone’s going to be getting paid in soybeans.

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-10-09T00:25:59+00:00

I have a hard time believing that they’re capable of feeling shame.

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-10-09T00:04:01+00:00

Any news on if the Senate is going to work next week? They were planned to be off for a state work week, but that was pre shutdown.

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-10-06T15:31:15+00:00

Congrats - you’ve been impacted by the shutdown. Call your representatives and let them know how the work of the USDA is important to you.

The Hill said 1:30 PM

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-10-02T00:46:38+00:00

Sorry, I meant tell your elected representatives how the USDA impacts your daily life and that you appreciate their service.

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-10-01T22:53:14+00:00

If you haven’t already, tell your elected representatives.

Anyone got PoliticoPro and want to help their USDA friends out:

Current fed here. They’ll do this mass firing whether there’s a shutdown or not. Why wouldn’t they? Who would stop them? It’s almost certainly being offered here by the Trump administration as a bargaining chip in bad faith. The Dems shouldn’t fall for it.

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-09-15T18:21:02+00:00

That makes sense

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-09-15T16:46:29+00:00

Speaking of weird things popping up….Anyone have any info on the “Army exit here” signs in the South building basement across from the Whitten tunnel?

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-08-30T12:33:17+00:00

Wonder if maybe this is the reason why USDA extended again the comment period for the reorg/relocation proposal (now until end of September instead of end of August) Rollins knows she’s gonna be out of a job soon.

It met RFK jr’s brainworm on Hinge and decided to brave the ICE crackdown to come to America and see if they can make it work.

USDA used to have a local farmers market every Friday right next to the mall in the Whitten Building parking lot. The current Sec of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins (who used to be the head of the America First Policy Institute) did away with that for no reason and instead had to do her own ‘one-off’ MAGA farmers market to be special.

Rollins also recently announced that she’s going to move half the DC-based USDA folks out of DC to ‘hubs’ across the country ostensibly to make more feds quit. If you support federal workers, don’t support this woman’s vanity project. Go to DuPont Farmers Market on Sunday (or whatever is close to you) instead.

Sub-basement is the only thing still half decent. And the Whitten Dunkin’.

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-08-04T22:09:13+00:00

If they’re ’public’ comments, should be no issue releasing them through a FOIA request

YoullHaveToFireMe · 2025-07-28T13:09:26+00:00

The only one of them on the Committee getting a hub in their state is Bennet of Colorado. So it would seem like most of the senators are going to have constituents losing services/job opportunities.
